Sometimes You Just Have to Have Another Go!

 Roman with a Sack Repainted 

Family trouble at the market

As is often the case just when I think I'm finished on a bit of a project, in this case the first mob base, my eye invariably gets drawn back to the bit I'm not entirely satisfied with which case is the Roman carrying the sack. He was done with a crude zenithal highlight and contrast paints with quick bit of highlighting. However, the rest of the Romans were done with the more traditional base colour, wash, and base colour back up to highlight approach.

Mark1 paint job on the Roman with a sack

A much nicer mark 2 version. 

I was trying to give him a 5 o'clock shadow. Not sure it really shows up in the picture. 

Clearly from the lower classes, so I want 

him to look a bit dirty and shabby. 

So, it was sort of inevitable that I would go back and paint him in a similar style to the other Romans on the mob base. With that done I am much happier with the final look of the mini and now he fits in much more happily with the rest of the minis on the mob base.
